[PATCH v2 01/13] of/fdt: make memblock minimum physical address arch configurable

By default, early_init_dt_add_memory_arch() ignores memory below
the base of the kernel image since it won't be addressable via the
linear mapping. However, this is not appropriate anymore once we
decouple the kernel text mapping from the linear mapping, so archs
may want to drop the low limit entirely. So allow the minimum to be
overridden by setting MIN_MEMBLOCK_ADDR.
